<TITLE>16. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 I looked at her, and the soldier behind me, I couldn't speak a word of Finn language. So he motioned to go on out. "Just a minute."
And the child looked up; I motioned to her like this. I knew she wanted to come over there. 'Course she was crippled; she's at the meeting to do so. I motioned to her; she looked at me. I nodded my head, "Yes."
And she put her little crutches out; she raised her little leg up; she made a step, and she looked again, childish like. I just waited, never said a thing till she got right up close to me. She looked up at me, and them little, bitty pale baby blue eyes. I found later she was a little Finnish war orphan; she didn't have mother or father, nobody. She's living in a tent with some people. Her mama and papa had been killed by the Russians. This old crude looking brace that they'd made her. I just stood and thought, "What will that child do?" I couldn't speak to her.
She reached down and got a hold of my coat. She kissed my pocket. Put her little skirt out like this, and said, "Kiitos," means "thank you."

L-50 I thought, "Oh, God." Just then in front of me, I saw the little child with them braces off, going walking. I thought, "Oh, if I could make her know it."
I said, "Sweetheart."
She kept saying, "Kiitos" the tears running down her little pale cheeks. "Kiitos, kiitos."
I said, "Honey." Oh, God," I said, "The Lord God has... Oh, God, let me speak something. You're healed."
And just then, they come, bunch of soldiers, "Come on, they done sung, 'Only Believe,'" and I had to go, pushed me on through.

L-51 And just at the close of the service, that night, my brother come to me and said, "That's enough, that's enough. You got another service tomorrow night."
I said, "Oh, look, how many cards did you give out?"
Said, "Oh, they give a bunch of cards; you can use them tomorrow night." No one could understand the English.
I said, "Just call a few more." And I said, "Give me from prayer card, so-and-so to so-and-so." And by God's great providence, she was the next one in the line. Here she come.
I said, "Sister Isaacson, just say what I say. Interpreting."
I said, "Sweetheart, you're the little girl that met me out yonder in the hall. Jesus Christ has healed you. Go over there, and set down, and let some of the ushers take that brace off of you."
While I called another, here she come across the platform, both legs the same, them braces over her head, screaming to the glory of God. Thousands of Finns fell on their face and give their life to the Lord Jesus, cold formal church members become borned again Christians.

L-52 What is it? "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel. These signs shall follow them that believe." If God's interested in a little Finn, He's interested in an American. He's interested in a little black boy, yellow boy, brown boy. He has to remain God. Why can't we get the starch from our neck? Why can't we get the theology that we've been taught that the days of miracles is past, and follow what Christ said?
He said, "Let every man's word be a lie, and Mine be the Truth. Upon this rock I'll build My church, and the gates of hell can't prevail against it." So you--your blessed.
